ufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
◆
CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the actual
number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the way it is
used.

Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.

Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software.
◆
Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load on the
CPU.
◆
Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.
◆
Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish, then
disable virus detection programs including any software that checks files
automatically in the background.
◆
Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD
access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.
◆
Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD. Do not try to write from shared
devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.
◆
Writing with software other than RecordNow! has not been confirmed.
Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.
